[ome-users] Opening 3D PALM images using Bio-Formats

[Melissa Linkert]

Hi Kathrin,

> Last week I tried to open 3D PALM/STORM images that I recorded in ZEN Black with a Zeiss ELYRA microscope in Icy, but the images are not being loaded in the correct way. I end up with a black image in the viewer, whilst I am expecting a Z-stack through a cell.

Thank you very much for reporting this problem, and for uploading sample
files.  We are aware of issues with opening PALM data from the Elyra
systems, and there is an open ticket for this on our issue tracking
system:

http://trac.openmicroscopy.org/ome/ticket/12469

There unfortunately isn't a workaround at the moment, but we will update
the ticket as we make progress on fixing this.  If you would like to be
automatically notified of updates, please let us know and we'll CC you.

Regards,
-Melissa
